NO Mas Excusas was a mail art project lauched by the Uruguayan Mail Artist Clement Padin on the end of the 80s and terminated with an exhibition and this documentation in 1991.A small biography taken by Wordpress."Clemente Padín was born in Lascano, Uruguay in 1939. He is a poet,
performer, designer, video- and multimedia-artist, and art critic. He
studied Spanish Literature at the University of the Republic of Uruguay.
In 1967 he made first experiences in the field of Mail Art, exchanging
publications with Edgardo Antonio Vigo, Guillermo Deisler
and Dámaso Ogaz. In 1969 he published the magazine “OVUM” as well as
postcards and visual poems. During the Military Dictatorship in Uruguay
he organised the first Latin-American Mail Art exhibition in 1974 at
Gallery U in Montevideo. With his fake postal stamps he doomed the
dictatorial regime for its brutal suppression of human rights. This
might have lead to his imprisonment from August 1977 to Novembre 1979.
Mail Artists from all around the world protested against it.In October 1983 he showed the public his artistic activities in the
exhibitions “1. Mai” in Uruguay. After that he organised the
Latin-American and Caribian union of Mail Artists, founded August 31,
1984 in Rosario, Argentina. Since then Padín has been participating in
hundreds of Mail Art exhibitions worldwide.“Mail Art is not made for the art marked, it is there to
be consumed and communicated. It is impossible to reduce the artistic to
political or social interests. The political content of art is
inseperably bound to the artistic content. Mail Art shows itself as a
form of social consciousness.” Clemente Padín (translation by MAI)"You can read a very interesting interview to this artist on Iuoma.orgIn this documentation you`ll find a very good article about :Networking, MAil Art and Human Rights in Latin America.(in spanish and english).Enjoy it.~f*a~r*a*w~a*y~ click me

"RADIKALNA PROMJENA (eng. Radical Change) was an important DIY anarcho-hardcore-punk band, with some dub elements in their music, from Zagreb, Croatia.

One
of the founders of the band and the vocalist/songwriter is Domagoj
Šeks. He was son of the Vladimir Šeks, that was president of Croatian
parliament and still is now very influential politician in Croatian
government and 'the word on the street' is that Domagoj, his son, had a
really big problem to live with the fact that he is his son, so perhaps
that is the reason, why is this tape full of very honest &
constructive rebellious attitude against government & society
stupidity that (still) gets rapidly even worse every day. Domagoj Šeks
tragically died in 2005 in India, because some local group of people,
that didn't like him, put the poison in his tea. Some of other Radikalna
Promjena members formed dub band called Radikal Dub Kolektiv."(from Pouludjela Pankcina blog)

5 tracks of furious political HC punk ,well recorded,all the info on the cover sleeve in croatian language only in this great cassette.

Another great release by the cross-cultural genius Daniele Ciullini,mail artist and musician active since the early 80s.I spoke about him when I posted his digital album Resti(2014).In that Post you`ll find also his biography and a very useful note about his own works and ideas/messages.His YouTube channel ishereand here his archive.org page.

In this 4 tracks mini album called Identita` Sonora(Sonic Identity) Daniele crystallizes ancient sound-sculptures where damned souls and imaginary ghosts move swiftly into pararrel dimensions leaving us dazed and speechless.

This is awordeful album for the lovers of old school industrial and powerful dark ambient.

A very big thanx to Daniele for choosing my blog to share this amazing album.I loved it,simply.

Notice to the readers of this blog and all the artists.

After 3 years of active collaboration with 3 different blogs(radiomolotov,misterioso impossivel,vita ignes corpus lignum) I decided to open my own blog.

My aim is to talk about obscure and rare productions which I accomulated in my personal collection.Some stuff is mine,some other produced by good friends of mine,some other by bands/artists whom I do not know by person.I am only posting here very old stuff that it`s not available now days.

If you are one of those artists and you are not happy to see your tape here then send me a shout and I will remove it as soon as possible.My aim is to get out there this old music that is otherwise forgotten.

If one day I will post some new productions it means that those productions will be by friends of mine whom gave me permission to do so.

Also I will post some of my music or copy art-works,zines,videos and the like!!In future I might re-post some stuff that I donated to the blogs listed above,after all some is my music and all of them are my original rips.

Any questions about my activities here?? Please use the shout box to chat with me.
